The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Fantasy World Needed

So I am trying to create a big rpg project, and translating everything created to Minecraft to bring the world to life, and allow for real time exploration. I have every single book available on story planning, world creation, and ect. but cannot seem to use all the material to put together a physical world, only the stories, and backdrop. I really need a complete world map created for a fantasy rpg world, something grand. I really need a heightmap version of this created world, and also it would be very amazing if a political map, with names and everything created also. Each map has to be seperate, and I can go from beyond that point to bring it to life. Credit of world creation will go to the map creator. All 3D work through Minecraft my own. I really look forward to collaborating to make wonders!!!
